So, while other people keep a dog, her daughter is going to keep a tiger and a leopard?

"Um, honey, they eat meat."

Tang Shengkai's voice held a hint of helplessness; his daughter was just different from others. Her thinking was truly peculiar.

"Oh, it's alright. I'll catch some small animals and put them in my space later. They can reproduce on their own, and that should be enough for them to eat."

Tang Shengkai raised his hand to cover his lips to hide the twitching at the corner of his mouth. What kind of era is this? People are still struggling to get enough to eat, and his daughter is already feeding these two big guys meat every meal.

"Oh, Dad, stop talking now. I haven't told them yet. Let's take them on the road first and get to know them better."

Tang Shengkai...

So his daughter was worried about this? But it seems that her worries are unnecessary. Judging from the way those two guys look at his daughter, he's sure they'll agree to whatever she says.

"Okay, that's all. Old Sun, let's count them together."

Chen Erniu's loud voice came over.

Xu Hongchang and his men had already changed into the clothes worn by the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers were hiding in China and were wearing the clothes worn by ordinary Chinese people, but their clothes didn't have any patches.

After spending so many days traversing the mountains, they've gotten quite a few cuts and scrapes, but these are still much better than the military uniforms they wore.

"Wow, these Japanese devils are so rich! Mancang, Junhui, come and help us, there's too much of this. We can't even count it all."

Bu Mancang and Wang Junhui walked over, and the others also came over to take a look out of curiosity.

As Tang Yue approached, she saw Sun Jinan and Chen Erniu pouring large denomination bills onto the ground. Her eyes widened; this scene seemed all too familiar.

These Japanese soldiers were really rich; even deep in the mountains, they were carrying so much cash. Judging by appearances, it must have been over 20,000 yuan in total.

Chang Yin and Xu Hongchang both looked grim; clearly, this was all money and blood plundered from the people of their country.

"Let's find a few bags to put these away first, and count them when we rest on the way."

Chen Erniu looked at Xu Hongchang, stood up and agreed.

The group found several bags from the Japanese and packed all the large denominations of copper coins into them. All the guns were now piled together, and Wang Ming and Li Tiezhu were twisting straw ropes.

They had over a hundred guns, and each of them carried more than ten. They were all covered in them. There were also two radios; Chang Yin was carrying one on his back, and Xu Hongchang and his group had a broken one.

Including bullets and other miscellaneous items, there were quite a few things in total.

Tang Yue turned around and asked, "Commander, shouldn't we rest for the night before leaving?"

Chang Yin shook his head, looking at the wild goat beside him, "We'll roast it later, eat it, and then leave."

Tang Yue had no objections. She thought that these guys had only just learned about cultivation, so why wouldn't they want to stop and give it a try?

However, these people seemed to have forgotten about cultivation at this moment, and were all busy with their own tasks.

"Battalion Commander, put all those things together. I can carry them myself."

Chang Yin nodded without hesitation. Commander Kang had said that the girl had taken everything from the entire warehouse, let alone such a simple hundred or so guns.

"I'll talk to Battalion Commander Xu in a bit."

Tang Yue nodded and didn't continue. After finishing their meal, everyone packed up their belongings, and no one went to get a gun; Tang Yue knew this had been agreed upon. Once everyone had crossed the abyss, Tang Yue directly stored everything into her spatial storage.

It's one thing for everyone to know it in their hearts, but it's quite another to see it with their own eyes.

Three days passed in a flash, and Tang Yue estimated that they would be able to leave the Qinling Mountains in another two days. Everyone had been moving quite fast these past few days; the tiger and leopard seemed quite familiar with the area, but they were definitely the ones who would take the fastest route out of the Qinling Mountains.

Standing atop another peak, Chang Yin's voice was cold, "From now on, everyone must be on high alert. We've reached the outer perimeter now. The Japanese planes haven't returned; they must know their entire force has been wiped out."

In case they ambush us from the outside.

"yes!"

Everyone spoke in unison. Then their expressions changed. The playful bickering ceased.

After another quiet day of travel, the group returned from scouting the area and reported, "Commander Chang, Commander Xu, there are no large wild animals in the vicinity. There are no signs of the enemy within 10 li."

Chang Yin said calmly, "Let's rest here tonight."

"Okay!"

Chen Erniu flashed a bright white smile. "Battalion Commander, there's a river to the east. Shall we go there?"

There was no other way; they were just too dirty. Now that they had the means and didn't have to rush, they all wanted to take a good shower. At their current pace, they should be able to leave the Qinling Mountains by tomorrow evening.

It's the middle of summer again, and although the forests of the Qinling Mountains aren't hot, they haven't showered for over a month, so you can imagine how smelly it must be.

"Okay, lead the way."

Chen Erniu's eyes lit up. Wang Ming and Sun Jinan had clearly felt a significant increase in strength over the past two days. They had been diligently absorbing spiritual energy along the way, but the effects were not obvious.

Even though it was only a little bit, they could feel the changes in their bodies.

For the past two days, the two of them had been managing their own food supplies. Today was no different. After reaching the riverbank and deciding on a resting spot, Wang Ming and Sun Jinan set off. Chen Erniu wanted to follow, but these two had been like strongmen for the past two days, and they had competed with each other quite a bit along the way, but he had lost every time.

Chen Erniu was still unconvinced, and since he could finally stop tonight, he was ready to properly experience the spiritual energy. This thing was just too good.
